About Us

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Central Aid Agency is to serve Christ, the community, and the common good; both locally and abroad.

What we're all about

TRUTH - HONOR - COMPASSION - SERVICE

​We are a non-denominational Christian organization.  We believe that by being a positive force for good in the world we can be a better representation of Christianity and spread the faith through actions rather than just through words, we affectionately call this "applied ministry".

It is our belief and our goal that in order to have an impact on the world we need to be out in it serving others, doing good, and living out our faith every single day.  We want to show people what Christianity is all about and why a relationship with Jesus is such a wonderful thing.

​To accomplish this goal we seek to go out into the world, serving both on a local and global scale.  Our organization is structured around this principle.

Our Organization

The Central Aid Agency Christian Service Army (Central Aid Agency, or just C.A.A. for short) is a Christian 501 (c)(3) nonprofit non-governmental organization (NGO) with five main areas of focus:
  • Emergency Management
  • Humanitarianism
  • Community Service
  • Science
  • Ministry
​Our organization uses a military style structure and terminology that we've tailored to our needs and mission.  We utilize a rank system for our personnel, and we wear uniforms that protect and identify us.  The types of uniforms we wear depend on what we're doing.  Our organization is made up of designated commands, branches, programs, and units that each focus on specific aspects of our overall mission.

​The Central Aid Agency first became a registered non-profit organization in January of 2010, but had been conducting regular operations since early 2008.  The concept that later became the Central Aid Agency had been around for many years prior to it becoming an official non-profit organization, and was inspired in part by great service organizations like the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Salvation Army, and the Red Cross.

Incident Command System

The Central Aid Agency implements Incident Command System (ICS) within its organizational and command structure.  ICS is an effective way of organizing operations and allows better integration with other agencies.  C.A.A. personnel within different roles are required to be trained to different levels of ICS proficiency, with personnel involved in Emergency Response operations having the highest training requirements.  All Commissioned Officers and NCO's, regardless of assignment, are required to complete basic training in ICS.

        The Primary Operating Philosophy of the Central Aid Agency is for the agency to be a well-trained deployable resource for governmental and nongovernmental organizations alike, able to assist and support, especially when their own resources are insufficient.  Provide capability in difficult or hard to reach areas.  Fill community needs that may otherwise be left unmet.  And supplement, rather than supplant, the capabilities of existing governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

Core Values

 ​Impartiality
We are committed to helping everyone.  We make no discrimination as to who we serve based on nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, class, political perspective, or otherwise.  However we do not encourage or facilitate sinful behavior; rather, we encourage and facilitate people.

Neutrality
In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Central Aid Agency has made a commitment not to take sides in hostilities, endorse a political viewpoint or opinion, or engage in product endorsements or political activities; unless directly related to our mission.

Independence
The Central Aid Agency is an independent organization and we encourage independent and critical thinking among our personnel and leadership. Though we value partnerships, and we recognize and respect the rule of law within the countries that we operate, we maintain autonomy and independence so that we are able at all times to act in accordance with C.A.A. principles and the Will of God.

Service
The core of the Central Aid Agency is our commitment to serve God, and serve others.  To accomplish this goal with the most effectiveness we are not motivated by thought of reward, but rather our duty to serve others in furtherance of the common good.

Faith
The Central Aid Agency is a Christian organization and based on the Christian Faith.  We believe that the best way to share our Faith is to demonstrate it through action, service, compassion, and kindness; it should not be forced or coerced.  Because of this we generally do not proselytize, but will gladly share our faith with anyone that asks.

Leadership
The Central Aid Agency strives to not only be a participant in the fields we serve in, but a leader as well.  By working together with other groups through partnership, cooperation, and collaboration we seek to help advance worthy causes for the betterment of all.

Excellence
The Central Aid Agency strives for excellence in everything we do and we put a high value on quality and effective service.  We are constantly seeking ways to innovate and improve our level of service and capability.  By that same token, maintaining high standards of conduct and training is central to our mission.
Donate to Help us Serve
Donations are critical to the operation of our organization and allow us to
